Nav Balchautari SEM
Nav Balchautari SEM is run by the Nepalese Association of South East Melbourne (NASEM) and supported by the Nepalese Association of Victoria (NAV). Established with one simple but powerful goal โ to make sure Nepali children growing up in Australia never lose their connection to their language, culture and traditions. Classes cover the Nepali alphabet (เค เค เค), reading and writing, Nepali songs and rhymes, dance, and cultural traditions. It is not just a language class โ it is a place where Nepali children come together and grow up proud of who they are.
